Abstract
A cross-flow fan includes an impeller and a shaft. The impeller includes a plurality of support plates and a plurality of blades. The blades are different in a blade cross section orthogonal to an impeller rotational axis, and each have a plurality of regions arranged in a direction of the impeller rotational axis and a coupling portion formed so as to couple the plurality of regions to each other. A rib is formed on the coupling portion, or formed in a region adjacent to the coupling portion within a range separated away from the coupling portion by up to 20% of a length of the region adjacent to the coupling portion in the rotational axis direction.
